Russian President Dmitri Medvedev on Tuesday showed willingness to discuss the US-planned missile defence system opposed by Moscow, but without 'haggling' linking it to Iran.
Medvedev was commenting during a visit to Spain on an alleged offer by US President Barack Obama to halt the defence system if Iran could be convinced to give up nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.
Speaking at a joint press conference with Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero in Madrid, Medvedev welcomed the 'positive signals' coming from the Obama administration with which he hoped to reach 'agreements.'
'Haggling,' however, was not 'productive,' Medvedev said.
Developing...
Putin is going to play the kid like a fiddle. Just damn.
That’s quite a definition of “haggling,” taking our co-offer right off the table. 0 is in way over his head, I hope he doesn’t give away too much of the farm. (But he probably will.)
Yep - we all knew it would happen because Joe BIden told us so! Remember, “Nobody messes with Joe!”
It is amateur hour at the White House. Unfortunately for the country this stand up routine will last 4 years...
Peace in our time, hails Master Diplomat Barak Obama!
An unforced concession is no way to open a negotiation - what a Maroon!
America is losing political influence in the world daily with this idiot novice in the White House. It also emboldens our enemies daily as well.
obama is going to go over there thinking that these leaders of other countries are obamaniacs like he’s surrounded himself with here.
They’ll eat him for breakfast.
Its Jimmah Cahtah all over again.
Hmmm.....let’s see, now......Community Organizer against former head of Soviet KGB..............hmmmm......tough call.................
Zero is about to get rolled. America what have you done?
Kruschev merely toyed with JFK compared to what Putin can do with 0 if he has a mind to.
Obama is doing the same thing to Israel by supporting the Palestian state.
In a way, this is refreshing: Obama gets a lesson that he is not worshiped abroad by other national leaders.
If only huge chunks of the American people could learn the lesson: Obama does not equal Messiah.
-—um, where, I wonder does Madame Sec’t’y of State fit in this?
He's not going to like it when he walks in the room and they're not all on their feet cheering him on.
Worse, Jimmah didn’t hate America like Bambi and his sculpted Bride.
I think Putin sees an unstable, broken America is bad for Russia. That would be smart. His best play is to make Obama continue to look like the high-functioning-autistic spiteful fool he is. Autism is a state of being, it was Obama’s choice to play it into spite and jealousy, it could have been played into great goodness, now it has become destruction.
OBambi is so far in over his head that you can barely see his butt.
Lord help us all.
